The stream-winner...three fetters are abandoned in him

A Poppy blooming in my garden in the morning

after the three coverings are shed.*

For the stream-winner, the arising of the Dhamma eye — with its insight into the causal principles underlying the origination and cessation of stress — is what cuts through the first three fetters.**

"He attends appropriately, This is stress... This is the origination of stress... This is the cessation of stress... This is the way leading to the cessation of stress.*** As he attends appropriately in this way, three fetters are abandoned in him:

1. Self-identity view

2. Doubt

3. grasping at precepts (rituals) & practices

*In the photograph (simile) above, the poppy blooming is compared to a "stream winner". The morning sun is the arising of the knowledge of The Four Noble Truths (The Right View). The shedding of the three coverings of the poppy bud is compared to the abandoning of the three fetters.

**Fetters

The five lower fetters:

1. Self-identity views

2. Doubt (uncertainty)

3. Grasping at precepts & practices

4. Sensual desire

5. Ill will.

The five higher fetters:

1. Passion for form

2. Passion for what is formless

3. Conceit

4. Restlessness

5. Ignorance

*** The four Noble Truths

The four kinds of food...

There are these four kinds of nutriment (food) for the maintenance of beings that already have come to be and for the support of those seeking a new existence.

The four kinds of food:

1. Physical food : gross or subtle
2. Contact food
3. Mental volition food
4. Consciousness food

With the arising of craving there is the arising of nutriment. With the cessation of craving there is the cessation of nutriment. The way leading to the cessation of nutriment is just this Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration.

Calm is his mind...

Calm is his mind,
calm his speech
& his deed:
one who's released through right knowing*,
pacified, such.

*The right knowing is the same as The Right View (Samma Ditthi), the first step in
the Noble Eightfold Pathway
